Oh. I thought maybe the 4d entity would be blind in one eye, since the sun is its eye.

The 4d entity of course.

Assuming that there are 4d beings.
The optic nerves from both eyes meet and cross at the optic chiasm,[14][15] at the base of the hypothalamus of the brain. At this point the information coming from both eyes is combined and then splits according to the visual field. The corresponding halves of the field of view (right and left) are sent to the left and right halves of the brain, respectively, to be processed. That is, the right side of primary visual cortex deals with the left half of the field of view from both eyes, and similarly for the left brain.[12] A small region in the center of the field of view is processed redundantly by both halves of the brain.

I think it is significant how it correlates to popular theological scripture though. It also integrates and responds to what we know about spatial dimensions. Also, when you think about it, as outrageous of an idea as it is, it actually makes sense.

Light is Information; I always saw that word information as In Form --- Light in formed --- either way it is Light is Intelligent. Light is very definitely connected to God and God is Like the Unseen Light that is faster than the speed of our daily limited light-- our daily limited light is, to put it very basic, God's intelligence 'seen' as things--or In intelligence or idea witnessed as formed light which appears as a world of time and 'matter'.

Seems odd to me that nobody's mentioned that eyes work by light going in, while stars have light going out.
Maybe I missed it.

Scriptures are interpreted by people in many different ways, and to them it always makes sense, or they wouldn't believe it. Think of all the denominations that exist in christianity today.
There are tons of examples of how people interpret the bible in different ways. Baptists believe that you must be baptized to be saved. Pentecostals believe that the gifts of the spirit are active today. Snake handlers believe that you must show your faith by dancing around with rattlesnakes. Some baptists and pentecostals believe that women have to wear skirts, can't wear makeup, and can't cut their hair. Catholics believe that you have to take communion every Sunday, or you're in trouble, and that babies should be baptized. Church of christ people believe that they're the only ones going to heaven, and that you shouldn't have music playing when you're singing praises to god. Seventh Day Adventists believe that you must keep Saturday holy, not Sunday...and by going to church on Sunday you're accepting the mark of the beast. These are just off the top of my head...I could go on and on.

I would more tend to believe the Sun is the nucleus of an atom on a macro-scale... or even that the Sun is the bio-electrical signal firing between neurons on a macro-scale. For the Sun to be an anthrpormorphic, 4-dimensional eyeball is like seeing a blood cell under the microscope and calling it an eyeball... it has a long way to go to contribute to a greater, overall structure. The Sun needs a much larger scale before it is something as complex as an organ; it's more like a cell or a subatomic particle. This makes more sense to me. Sorry to be so harsh.

So, I have been enjoying reading your posts and I've been noticing some concurrent themes in real and internet life. Many folk from varied philosophical and religious affiliations seem to be coming to this subject on their own...like something is waking up.
The Bible has become increasingly metaphysical in my readings and "Light" is a big subject there. Science seems to be edging ever closer to one day looking into a microscope or telescope and staring directly into the eye of God. Given enough time of course.
With that said, I find this to be true:
“I am the Light of the World. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12
Light & Darkness are more than allegory I'm sure. There is War here--and in the cosmos--between the two. I wanna be a spiritual 'moth' and fly towards the light. May I be strengthened to do so.
Do you interpret the flood story as a literal story? If so, tell me what happened during the flood. Was it a world wide flood? Was it a local flood? Were dinosaurs on the boat? This story is taken many different ways. What is the correct context it should be taken in?

A literal translation only has one possible interpretation, unless the context of that interpretation is completely wrong.
